Jared started a new rotation this past week, surgical oncology (it's a part of his general surgery requirement). We had heard that this rotation could be brutal so we decided to take a last minute weekend getaway up to the mountains before he started this rotation. There's no snow yet but it was fun to get away. The drive up there was beautiful and we had fun walking around, going to the pool and hot tub, drinking hot chocolate and watching movies.

UVA football

It's been over a month now since we went but it was Sam's first footbal game ever so I thought I should post these pics. Jared got some free tickets so we called up the Pooles and asked them to come along and drove down to Charlottesville. I think Sam is addicted already. He loved cheering and did pretty good, for a 2-yr-old, staying in our area. It had been kind of cold for a few days before the game but that Saturday turned out to be a beautiful, a little warmer than we expected, day. We got there right after half-time and I think we had Sam's shirt off somewhere in the 3rd quarter. UVA lost in over-time but we still had a good time.

I was taking some pictures of Sam playing in the leaves today and I fell in love with this one so I thought I'd post it. I have more that hopefully I'll get to later.

Happy Halloween

I probably let Sam watch a little too much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...he calls Mickey Mouse "Toodles" so this year he was Toodles for Halloween. Once he found out that he got candy for saying Trick or Treat he was yelling it before he before we would get to the next person at our ward's Trunk or Treat. On Halloween Jared was able to take Sam trick or treating.

He loved carrying his pumpkin.
